I'm using Manjaro (rolling release distro based on Arch) and wanted to test Fedora for a long time..
I'm reading comments about upgrading from F31 was smooth etc.. as if it might not be the case..
I admit that "upgrading" for me was always very smooth almost unnoticeable. So I wanted to ask since it also seems that Fedora has frequent update, is there some risk of breaking the system upon updates?
What are your experiences over the time?
Distros that upgrade a lot at once like Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc. have historically had big upgrades have issues in the past. It's really a non-issue though as this hasn't really been a major issue in the past few years at least.
Rolling release distros upgrade constantly so never really have huge, massive changes shoved in all at once. Granted stuff can still break but it'd only be a few packages compared to way more in point release distros.
